By Daniel Ojukwu

Former Liverpool striker and legend, Michael Owen, has emphatically told the management of  English Premier League giants, Liverpoool to maintain their not for sale stance on their talismanic winger, Mohammed Salah as he is irreplaceable for now.

The iconic Egyptian born player, now 31, has been subject to intense transfer speculation of late from Saudi Pro League club, Al Ittihad.

The club are the club most seriously linked and on deadline day it was reported they offered the Reds management mouthwatering offer of £150 million which was  outrighly rejected by the club

 Prior to yesterday’s 3-0 victory at the Anfield over Aston Villa, Jurgen Klopp went on to tagged the episode as a media story that never came through , hammering that his talisman’s commitment to the club unwavering..

Klopp, German boss tactician was repaid as his talisman Salah scored Liverpool ‘s third and final goal of the afternoon.

However with the Saudi Arabian transfer window yet to close, the rumours still linger like a bad odour.

Rumour mill also has it that the oil rich club are not done yet in their quest to tempt Salah to Saudi Arabia as they prepare another eye-popping offer of £200m counter offer for a player out of contract in two years’ time before the country transfer window firmly shut next Thursday.

This latest rumour has sparked serious questions of what would be better cash in Liverpool’s bank vault or a world class player?  

 Owen has made stance on this debate surrounding Salah crystal clear

“His consistency is unbelievable. People can have a view of him as a player, obviously he’s one of the world’s best, but in terms of his output, the goals, the numbers he continues to post year-on-year, it’s quite phenomenal,” the former Reds No.10 began when addressing the situation on the Premier League’s matchday live show.

“People can say ‘oh but it’s £200m, I’d sell him’, and I hear it – I hear the argument. But, where do you find somebody that plays every single game?

“Never, ever gets injured, he’s a model pro, scores all the time – big goals – has been there to win all the biggest trophies,” Owen, now a football pundit, said.

“I get it, I hear it, if someone’s gonna pay stupid money then every single person on this planet has got a price, but you won’t be able to get another Mo Salah 

Another former Premier League forward, Ian Wright, then posed the question: “What if he wants to go?”

“That is a different matter,” responded Owen, “and he might want to do that, Wrighty.”
